Watermelon Limeade Cocktails
Watermelon "ice cubes" and fresh lime juice are the stars of this simple and refreshing cocktail. Perfect for light dinner drinks and sweet enough to be considered dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 small seedless watermelon
- 2 medium limes*
- 2 shots white rum ((Bacardi))
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1 liter club soda
Instructions
- 1
Slice 3/4 of a seedless watermelon into cubes, reserving one quarter for juice, and place in a bag and freeze for several hours or preferably overnight.
- 2
In a strainer over a bowl, press the remaining chunks of fresh watermelon with a muddler or flat surface until most of the juice is extracted.
- 3
Slice limes into quarters and squeeze the juice of one fruit into each serving glass, throwing the limes into the glass along with it. (Only use half of a lime instead of 2 medium limes if you prefer a drink that's not as tart.)
- 4
Add 1 tbsp sugar and one shot (2 Tbsp // 30 ml) of white rum to each serving glass and muddle until well mixed.
- 5
Fill to the brim with watermelon ice cubes, add a healthy splash of watermelon juice (about 1/4 cup), and top off with club soda.
- 6
Stir, garnish with lime wedge, and serve with a straw.
